What we are presented with here is wrapped in a fragile and yet, thanks to a strong coherence, at the same time indestructible aura. Transfixed moments of suspended self-experience and contentedness that rarely wish to recount or inform. They harbour a beautiful intimacy of subjects deliberately keeping the observer at a distance, reminiscent of the surface tension on calm stretches of water.

Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Matthew Antezzo, Carel Balth, Vanessa Beecroft, Henry Bond, Patrick van Caeckenbergh, Maurizio Cattelan, René Daniëls, A.K.
